Like The National Rifle Association, many parts of the legislative body are driven by money and power. It does not seem to matter in these modern times the damage all are causing on our civilization.

The long arms of the NRA are more powerful than the presidency, 90 percent of the American people, and those leaders in Washington that want sensible gun control. It seems the government is no longer for the people, it is for the NRA.

The gun control bill that failed in the Senate was a slap in the face to all the parents that have lost children to gun violence, and those that survived senseless shootings.
